Hittin' the Road

We have been completely blown away by the hundreds of preorders for Vegan Lunch Box we are receiving! Thanks so much to all of you!! Although the "official" release date was set for November 15th, we decided to start shipping some of the orders early so the poor clerks at the post office wouldn't see us coming and lock the door.

That means that a few hundred copies have already shipped and are now winging their way across America and around the world, on their way to you!

And now the shmoo family is packed up as well, ready to ship ourselves off to Portland for a book signing tomorrow! Hope to see some of you there! Shmoo thinks this book business is a bore, but is very excited to check out the Star Wars exhibit at OMSI.

Hey I forgot to ask you how you feel about your recipes being posted on the interbot. Not that I would type out your entire book, but sometimes one posts photos and others ask for the recipe. Where do you stand on this type of sharing?

That's so cool. I wish I wasn't on the opposite side of the country from Portland, but I wish you best of luck with the signing! Maybe Shmoo will get more excited when he sees the crowds drooling over his lunches!

Hi, Webly! It was nice meeting you, too!

Well, I think it's very nice of you to ask!! Sharing one or two recipes is fine, as long as they are credited to Vegan Lunch Box, so people know where they came from. :-)

I think we need to take another vacation there soon, to see all the places we didn't have time for this time! Veganopolis and Food Fight! were both on my list, and we didn't get to them. The restaurant our friends took us to, Ya Halla, served the most *amazing* Lebanese food. All the vegan dishes were identified on the menu, and they even had vegan baklava!

Hi Jennifer! I received your book yesterday and am making my way through it! It looks wonderful!!!!

I wanted to let you know i noticed a mistake... in your recipe for the Tortilla Roll-Ups on page 27, it says the recipe for Refried Beans is on page 22, but it's actually on 224. Just thought you may want to know for your second-pressing. If i catch anything else, i'll be sure to let you know!
